Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Best gun oil

I've been using Rem-Oil for the past 6-7 years. Works well and keeps the corrosion away, That's all I can ask for.

I'm on my 5th gallon of Prolix. I used to use Breakfree and G-96. I use the Prolix T-4 for pistol slides and other places that need a heavier lube. Last week I took a pistol course and another guys mags would not drop from his Kimber. A couple squirts of Prolix cured the problem, much to his surprise. A little Prolix and a boresnake works wonders for an ordinary cleaning for most barrels. It will not remove heavy lead or metal fouling. I have found that after using it, lead and powder do not seem to stick to it in the barrel. I use it on all my guns and knives. A good portion of my gunshow guns stay in the cases between shows with no signs of rust or corrosion. Took awhile to get used to that.

That's were I got it.........................DJ

A much as it pains me to say it , I have to agree with Steelhead on the Kroil (except for the cooking part, I haven't got quite that far yet .) I use it for everything gunny as as for other household chores. I even like the smell.

Not only are their products great, they take care of our troops by sending them the stuff for free if they ask for it. You gotta love a company that would do that for our guys and gals in Harms Way.

For my money I like EEZOX. Not oil but good lubricant and protection to 95 Below 0. Read about it on www.baldeagletraders.com.

Gunbutter for lube on sidearms and semi-autos, shooters choice rust prevent to hold corrosion off. I usually run bolt guns almost dry after treating bolts, rails and lugs with moly-fusion.

I like EEZOX but not for the -90 reason. Who in heII gonna be huntin in that chit? Thats fishin weather

I found this experiment online a couple years ago-its dated so doesn't show some of the newer stuff you all are talking of. Kind of a neat read with decent pictures to draw some conclusions from. Why don't one of you do this with the newer stuff on the market?

While working in a police armory, we had every snake oil salesman in the world come by and peddle their wares. Plus I have gotten samples of everything at the SHOT show and tried them all. Here are my conclusions. Breakfree is not very good at anything. They put it in a dark container so you can't see the teflon particles sitting at the bottom.

For lubrication and anti-friction properties, nothing is any better that FP-10 made by Venco (Shooter's Choice)

For corrosion protection in an oil product, Slip 2000 is awesome and it is quite inexpensive. I but 32 oz spray bottles for under $20.

There are dry lubes for dusty environs- such as Iraq and I can't comment on them other than to say they work better than oil in those conditions but not as good as oil where you have more forgiving conditions.

I spray the barreled action with rust protect, which drys, before putting them into the stock. I have NEVER had a spec of rust on any rifle that I have treated this way- then again, I have never hunted in paradise so all bets are off when talking SE AK!


These are my suggestions.

I really hate it when WD-40 comes up as one of the better rust protectors. Everybody know it gums up your gun, leaves deposits, removes blueing and can only be applied when there is a full moon. Some Myths just die hard.

I use TC bore butter to lubricate all of my guns. Seems to work fine and has has very little scent to it. Is always humid in Florida and no rust on my guns.......Fishster

The teflon does certainly settle in break-free, but it still seems an excellent rust preventative. FP-10 seems the better lubricant, along with synthetic gun grease.
